Exportable Comment Packages

Package all layer-specific notes, conflicts, and time-stamped edits into one presentation-ready report.

Public hearings and regulatory submissions often require aggregating inputs from many team members across dozens of sessions. Exportable comment packages let a team bundle every annotation, highlight, and revision note — organized by layer and timestamp — into a single PDF or HTML package. This ensures reviewers see not just the model, but the full discussion thread that shaped it, preserving context without attaching hundreds of email attachments or Slack snippets.

When presenting to non-technical stakeholders, the exported package can include summary visuals like conflict timelines, version comparison highlights, and annotated hotspots with direct links to the live sandbox. This keeps the conversation grounded in shared data, not opinion, and speeds consensus-building. The export preserves layer groupings, so zoning notes stay with rezoning visuals, and engineering annotations remain tied to infrastructure maps.

For post-submission audits, this export becomes a permanent record of how and why a final design changed across iterations. Agencies and auditors can follow the narrative of decisions, from initial assumptions to regulatory adjustments, all embedded with metadata about who made changes and when. It transforms static deliverables into living documentation that tells the full story of the project’s evolution.
